Flashback
The Winx Club, and co touched down at there camp where they were immediately bombarded with questions, which ceased when Yusuke and the red fountain boys entered the area.
Yusuke smirked at Jade, "What took you so long, I nearly had to send out a search party," Yusuke said.
Jade shrugged, "Something came up, but right now who cares about that, I was thinking of a little recon mission to rescue my father."
Yusuke grinned, "When do we leave, cause if we leave now me and you could be back within 2 hrs, after all we haven't failed a recon mission yet."
Jade blinked, "Yeah about that, this time it isn't just going just you and me, it's going to be you me Jem, Jones, Musa, Flora, Bloom, Tecna and Stella." Jades crystal green eyes met Yusuke's silver eyes, which were stormy in rage.
"But they could jeopardize the mission and…" Yusuke sputtered out.
"This isn't time for us to argue over some trivial things and as much as you loathe the idea I do have other responsibilities and besides I have never entertained the idea of you as anything more than a business partners and a close friend, and now that I think about it the red fountain boys are coming," Jade said turning around to face the Red fountain boys.
"But why do they have to go we could be back in a flash," Yusuke whined.
"I miss the point where I care, if we just happen to bump into SEDA then we are screwed safety in numbers besides, and all that," Jade said.
"But you will be held responsible if they die,"
Jade sighed, "Okay Timmy, Stella and Flora, Jones, you stay behind, you to Brandon. Is that better Yusuke?"
Yusuke harrumphed and stalked away, "I'll take that as a yes. Remy and Brandon your in charge." Jade said watching Yusukes back.
End Flashback
That had been 6 hours ago all eight of them had split up inside the castle as soon as they entered breaking in had been easy but the castle was too big to be searched in one huge group. Bloom, Skye, and Tecna had gone of as one group, Musa and Riven in another group, and Yusuke and Jem had gone in another group, leaving Jade by herself. Of course this had been one huge mistake as Jade was soon attacked by the leader of the specialist who had actually kicked her out of the castle, straight through the wall and everything.
Jade groaned as she sat up and wiped the blood from her forehead her healing factor had completely healed her within seconds in Shira had powers had grown stronger, but after a healing like that her magic was nearly drained. Jade stood as Flair the Captain of S.E.D.A landed in front or her. Jade noticed the Shiran tattoo on his face, which showed his rank.
Taking a fighting stance she looked into his blue eyes, which were filled with malice.
"Your highness you're going to lose this fight and when I take your powers to my queen she will finally kill your old man." Jade was pumping up her adrenaline and ignored the comment she didn't lose fights like these, heck she didn't lose. "I'm not the same as the other S.E.D.A specialists I practice a lot," Flair continued looking at the sky as it began to rain. "Now prepare yourself because I'm coming…" Flair moved like lightning punching Jade in the face, which sent her flying to the ground.
"To fast…" Jade muttered as she quickly got up.
Flair attacked again using his speed but Jade was ready and blocked each of the blows and managed to throw some blows her self but each of them was blocked. Flair stepped back and aimed a kick at Jades temple. Jade blocked the kick but Flair's hands had reached Jades ribs as he gave her a huge push that sent her flying. Flair grinned at the now muddy Jade who glared at him as she rushed him also pushing him back slightly. Flair rushed doing a jump kick in the air at Jades temples. Jade crumpled to the ground unconscious. Flair watched her body knowing that she would be using the last of her magic to heal herself. 35 seconds later Jade's eyes fluttered open and she forced herself up slipping slightly in the mud.
Flair walked around her, "Weak," he muttered he had been expecting more the rain had stopped falling.
Jade looked at him and got up and launched herself in another attack this time she was more focused and she was trying to hurt him as she used her strength to try and break Flair's arms. Jade was so intensely focused she didn't see Jem walking towards them. Flair dodged one of Jades kicks and began to deliver blows to Jades face spraying her blood everywhere. Jem winced and began to run to help her, but Flair was faster nailing Jade with another blow to the temple. Jade went down not unconscious but close to it that blow had done some damage but she was fighting of the darkness that threatened to overwhelm her.
"Heh… so I finally lose a fight, wow never thought that this day would come," Jade coughed up some blood. Jade turned her eyes to Flair as a choking noise was heard. Flair had Jem in a hold where he could easily break his neck.
"Your last sight before you die is of your boyfriend's neck being snapped," Flair spat.
Jade's eyes were flickering between her phoenix eyes and her regular eyes, "Let him go damn you just let him go," Jade sat up and slowly stood up and took a slower step forward.
Blood had begun to sip from Jem's mouth, in a strangled voice he said his last words, "I love you Jade forever and always," with that Flair Snapped his neck and tossed him aside.
Jade roared with anger her phoenix eyes were glowing red as she attacked Flair for the last time. This time the two exchanged blows but Jade's strength had probably tripled, as did her speed. Flair's hands went down as Jade struck his body repeatedly, hitting his face, neck and upper ribs. Flair went down unconscious but Jade kept on hitting him this time fire had appeared where her fists were. Flair's dead corpse was charred when Jade finally calmed down.
Jade rushed to Jem's side and touched his heart noting the dying heartbeats. Jem's eyes were open, Jade hugged his dying body, "I'm so sorry Jem, I love you too." tears were forming in her eyes as the rain began to fall again mixing with her tears. Jade sat there for what seemed like ages until Jem died. Putting his head against the ground gently she muttered a few words that would preserve Jem's body until a proper funeral could take place.
Jade got up from the ground looking at Jem's peaceful face, "I'm so sorry, I will win this fight for you Jem, they will pay." Jade took Jem's two daggers and sword from Jem's corpse before leaving.
Elsewhere…"Bloom do you think Jade will be alright I mean she's all by herself," Tecna said walking through the labyrinth like castle.
"She's probably found her dad already and beat all of SEDA by herself," Bloom said confidently.
"Bloom's right Jade can hold her own in a fight." Skye added. The three walked down the halls silently for a while.
The three started shivering slightly, before Bloom spoke up, "Does anyone else notice the extreme drop in temperature," the other two nodded before snowflakes began to appear.
"Icy," the three said in union as Jade rounded the corner and smacked into Tecna. Jade went down her bloody mud covered body told the group that she had been attacked.
Skye helped Jade up who looked like she was about ready to pass out but her eyes showed determination to fight. "You okay Jade?" Brandon asked Jade who nodded.
"Jem's dead," she muttered her voice sounded hollow as if she hadn't used it in awhile.
The three gasped as Jade pushed Skye away and took a fool ice prism to the chest. Jade fell back, hitting her head, on the ground.
"Jade!" Tecna said.
"You should be worried about your self nerd," Icy voice came from doorway.
"Icy," Bloom snarled going Winx and attacking her. Since she was obviously winning the other two-helped Jade up.
"You okay," Skye muttered as Jade's body began to heal itself.
"No Jem's dead," Jade repeated again taking a dagger and whipping it with deadly accuracy at Icy. The dagger embedded into Icy's right shoulder giving Bloom the opening she needed.
Icy fell unconscious as Jade got up. Walking over to Icy's body Jade picked Icy up by the throat her, grabbing the dagger Jade twisted it causing Icy to wake up in pain. "Where's my father?" she snarled.
Icy spat into Jades face, "Why should I tell you?"
The spit slid down her face, Jade's eyes went phoenix, "Because one of your lackeys who you sent to attack me killed one of my best friends and now that I think about it I might have loved him. Anyway that same lackey is now a burnt up corpse, do not become the second person I have to kill to get my way." Jade yanked out the dagger causing Icy to yelp in pain.
Icy stared into Jades cold unforgiving eyes; she herself had never killed someone, tortured yes but to murder someone… "I'm not telling you anything you Alfean dropout."
Jade sighed; "Fine have it your way…" a fireball appeared in her left hand which had balled into a fist, Jade attempted to punch Icy, but Skye's grip on her shoulder tightened.
"So you're just going to kill her in cold blood? She doesn't deserve that Jade no matter how many atrocities she has committed," Skye said.
Jade shook him off, "This is for Jem," she snarled as her fist travelled to Icy's face again.
"No, I'll talk, just please," Icy finally uttered, as the flames were centimetres to her face.
"I'm listening," Jade said.
"He's in the dungeon mother's getting ready to kill him you only have possibly a few minutes."
"Where's the fastest route to the dungeon?" Icy pointed to the door that was across the hall. "For your sake you had better be right," Jade said tossing Icy against the wall hard enough to put her unconscious.
Moving quickly the four entered the door way and rushed down the stairwell, "You were bluffing the whole time weren't you?" Bloom asked Jade admiration in her eyes as well as a hint of fear.
"No I wasn't, but I was going to give her a chance to talk before I did it. Icy wouldn't have said a word if she didn't think I was serious."
No one said anything, but they looked at Jade with fear in their eyes. Reaching the bottom of the stairwell Jade automatically took a right turn and continued to run until she rammed straight into Musa and Riven who were keeping Lilith busy.
"Get my dad out of here you people I'll deal with her," she said loudly as Musa and Riven complied leaving Jade to chant the spell she had memorized earlier.
"Hell's gates open with a dream, feel the fire lick your body clean. Hell waits the time is soon at hand. Hell's gates will open where you stand. Pages turn for sinners to burn. Judgment comes to all for Satan's rule for the fool who never saw the fall. Your demons seeds of hate and greed have eternal debts to pay." Jade finished the chant noting that the Lilith had remained in shock that Jade had been saying quite a powerful spell.
Even more surprising that it worked as the gates of Hell did open and begin to swallow Lilith whole.
"Poison arrow," Lilith's last command rang through the air as a poisoned arrow shot through the air skimming against Jade's hand slicing the skin.
Jade whipped out a dagger, and walked to where her father's body lay, she could see he was dying, sitting down she put her father's head in her lap and watched as his eyes opened. "Hey dad," Jade whispered.
"Be strong and remember Jade my darling the blood of Shiran warriors past and present flows through your veins, but always let your heart guide hand." Her father touched Jade's face and rubbed his calloused hands across her face, "keep your chin up little soldier," like Jem her father died in her arms.
The Winx club looked at Jade who had taken the dagger and held it to her injured hand and sliced of a huge chunk of it watching the blood flow from the self inflicted wound, "No one else that I care about shall die while I live and breath," she said loudly watching as her body began to heal itself.
"What did you do to Lilith? That spell was pretty heavy duty," Bloom questioned.
"Yes I believe a level ten spell or higher, as you know spells are levelled according to the potency of set spell, more powerful faeries or witches or any magical being who can manipulate magic can do such spells. Feragonda herself can only reach spells up to level 8. What you did Jade it was creepy you just opened the gates of hell, and closed them, Jade you just sent someone to hell that's…"
Jade's eyes flicked over to the people sitting in front of her, "You won't remember that spell, you weren't even supposed to see that spell, I'm sorry," with that lightning bolts ripped out of her fingertips and hit each of them in the brain, "Erasemus," Jade whispered. "Let's go before we're attacked," she muttered standing up, and walking away.
"What about Yusuke, we can't just leave him here," Musa pointed out.
"Yusuke can take care of himself, it's been past the allotted time we should have stayed here, Yusuke is probably on his way back to camp as we speak," Jade replied leaving the Winx club watching her leave.
"Is she okay?" Riven asked Musa.
'Did I just do what I think I did. Oh my God but I never meant to do that spell, I just sent Lilith to hell I just sent someone to be tortured for an eternity. When I learned to do spells like that… I… never thought that I would use it… maybe I should tell them but to know what I know they'll probably look at me with fear… I did the right thing I think erasing there minds, if they do find out I know what I know I hope they realize that I didn't really have much of a choice in the matter… Jones… Shit I hope she's alright that spell would have affected her as much as it did Lilith… but I didn't see her go in which is good right… maybe… God I pray that she alright out of anyone alive she knows me and accepts me no matter what I do.' Jade looked at Riven and the rest of them "I'm fine just worried Yusuke will be okay… I hope, I just want to go back to camp, my magic's just completely drained right now I just used my reserves as well and I hate feeling this helpless," she said in a non-convincing tone.
"Alright we'll head back," Skye said to the others. They nodded, and started to leave.
Meanwhile…"My Mistress your wish is my command," a voice said from the dark.
Darcy smiled cruelly she would mess with Jade's pretty little head, taking the powers from her body would be easy with the one person Jade could never or would never hurt physically.
"Darcy mother's gone," Stormy said storming into Darcy's room.
Darcy glanced at her younger sister, "Pity the old hag will never see me pry the Phoenix force from Jade Halva's dead body."
"Wait isn't that the pixies…" Stormy began as the realization of what Darcy's next move came into play.
Much later…As the group entered the camp, "Jade your mother died, we…" some random thief began to give her a full report.
"Jem died get Remy to do the proper things I need to get to Jones," Jade pushed by the thief.
"But Jade she's pissed of at something for some reason so watch out," The thief said before reporting to Remy.
Jade heard Remy yell and the stomping over to Jade, "What do you mean dead did one of you at least do the accustomed remedy…" Remy stopped noting the haunted look in Jade's eyes.
"Yeah I did Billy, they broke his neck, and I broke nearly every bone in his body," Jade said with a forced smile, which looked creepy on her mud, and blood streaked face. "Please Remy I need to talk to Jones but keep a watch out for Yusuke and start the mourning process."
"Yeah whatever you say," Remy said as he watched Jade enter her room. Remy turned to the Renegades who had formed around them and realization that he had lost one of his best friends, and possibly another one Jade looked like she was about to go crazy. "Build a huge fire," Remy ordered and stalked off.
As Jade entered the tent a book bounced of her head, "What the hell is wrong with you," Jones snarled at her.
"Jem died," Jade said simply as she picked up the book.
"I know, you said you'd never use the spells Sparrow forced on you," Jones said noting Jade's weariness.
"I'm sorry I know how you were effected by it, I had to erase their memories and it completely drained me," Jade said falling to the ground.
Jones sighed and touched Jade's mind with her own, nearly reeling back in shock, "You never told me what Sparrow did to you Jade what happened."
Jade shrugged "You mean before he raped my mind," Jade sneered, "he tortured me for nearly three weeks before he thought my mind could take all the magic he knew and forced into my head. He let me go before he died and that's when I dragged my sorry ass back to the Renegade's all bruised, dehydrated and a lot more please don't ask me to relive that memory so you can get an even more in-depth look at my life please Jones it's one of the memories that I wish that I could just forget." Jones nodded and Jade nodded her thanks.
"Jade… I think you should come outside," Bloom's voice came through the tent.
Jade left the tent and her mouth dropped there was an army of Orc's heading their way, but the surprising thing was that leading the Orc's was Yusuke and beside him was Darcy. "Jones you know the spell that replace all my magic and energy I think I'm going to need it right now."
Three or four more chapters coming up next Jade greatest weakness is finally realized but it's to late to really do anything about it… Darcy's plan will work and Jade will fall of her winning streak in a devastating way leaving Jones in a comatose state and the Renegades on the run, while Darcy enjoys the spoils of war.
